Kristjana Gunnars, Returnings 1
30" x 22", mixed media on Canson paper, CAN$600.00 - Available for Sale
Returnings is a series of abstract mixed media works on Canson mixed media paper. I utilize here fluid acrylics, collage, acrylic pen. I wish to create an atmosphere and bring tonality into a space, while retaining a sense of excitement and movement. The white paint is iridescent and reflects light, so it matters what angle you look at it from. The palette is limited to brown, blue, black and white, which come out in various shades and overlap. There is a feeling of a vortex here, and the black centre is a place for the eye to rest since there is a lot of movement around it. I have combined patterns of design, specifically the crescent shape, the cross, and the vertical line. The small light brown area below the centre takes the position of a focal point, off centre and a little to the right.
